TraceWriter Property (FtpClient)

Gets or sets the System.IO.TextWriter which will trace the connection/deconnection process as well as the commands and replies sent to and received from the FTP server.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property TraceWriter As TextWriter

'Usage
 
Dim instance As FtpClient
Dim value As TextWriter
 
instance.TraceWriter = value
 
value = instance.TraceWriter

public TextWriter TraceWriter {get; set;}

Property Value

A reference to a System.IO.TextWriter which will trace the connection/deconnection process as well as the commands and replies sent to and received from the FTP server. By default this property is set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic); therefore, no tracing is done.

Remarks

The FTP client will not dispose/close the writer.

This method is the equivalent of the CommandLogFilename property of the ActiveX version of the Xceed FTP Library.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to write to a StreamWriter.

Visual Basic
C#

Dim ftp As New FtpClient() ftp.TraceWriter = New StreamWriter( "d:\ftp.log" )

FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient(); ftp.TraceWriter = new StreamWriter( @"d:\ftp.log" );

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
